Mythos First Look, Videos and Screens from IGN

With the American economy apparently experiencing something of a downturn, many consumers might not exactly be looking to invest in a new online game with a monthly subscription fee. Good thing, then, that the free-to-play, pay-per-item financial model that has thrived for years in Asian markets is gaining more and more traction in the United States. Games with this kind of payment structure aren't exactly new to those American gamers who've been paying attention, but more recently high profile franchises in the Western markets have adopted the free-to-play structure, the most visible being DICE and Electronic Arts' upcoming Battlefield Heroes.

Developer Flagship Studios is taking a similar approach with Mythos, an action-RPG.
